After four years of research, recovery and transition, I am so very pleased to announce that the recently completed (well for now, anyway) OIRF.COM website has gone live! Welcome! My gratitude is unbounding for my tech support, Chad Jerrett of JR Direct IT & Marketing Services in Delta, BC Canada.

Sensory Organs The Many Faces of Tinnitus Inspiration from the Naturopathic Practice Hardly any other symptom is as feared and ambivalent as tinnitus. Those affected know what major restrictions on quality of life can be associated with this.

Summer Time and Optimism? June 2025 My dear friends, colleagues and supporters, The summer solstice approaches, and our daylight hours will soon begin to shorten. All that light seems to focus on what appears to be the unending upset and chaos throughout our world.

I must say my fascination with the news [...]

13 May 2025 There is one event that I always look forward to each spring, and that is making the journey to St. Louis to participate in Dr. Simon Yu’s Introductory Acupuncture Meridian Assessment seminar and workshop. It’s a long day of travel and flying each direction for me from our beautiful little resort community in the interior of British Columbia – but well worth it. Attended this spring by nearly 20 docs and dentists, this session was exceptional. I was able to present all three of my lectures [...]
